In order to establish the entente mill

i.nnriiim noi. He writes:
"President Wilson promised the world
a peace of Justice. He now asks a
whola series of guarantees. Can there
be a better guarantee than the fact
that Germany Is changing her Govern
ment to the very fundamentals ana
now is asking the President to start
peace negotiations? Germany trusted

Reform Bill Proposed.
'Probably it has not come to the
knowledge of President Wilson that
the new government's first act was to
submit to the Reichstag a oiu oy
which the omnipotence of the German
Kaiser alone to decide on war or peace
ta abolished. It is self-evident that
the transition to a parliamentary gov
ernment would entail such action, so
no obstacle remains to prevent the
nea-otiationa for which Germany has
Mlrt.
"Wilson has not exactly facilitated
matters by the tone of his proclama
tion, but be shows that lie himself de
sires to continue negotiations, so while
the latest note may cause delay it does
not mean a breaking off."
Theodore Wolff in the Tageblatt
evidently is trying to put on the en

He asks I? President Wilson means that
the question of an armistice lies with
the military advisers of the entente
and not those of Germany, or does be
mean that ,the question is the affair
of the military on both sides and not
the civil authorities. He argues that
two parties are necessary to an agree
ment and therefore insists on the im
mediate forming of the proposed mixed
commission. The submarine warfare
would cease immediately if the com
mission was formed, he asserts. He
criticises the spirit of the Wilson note.
saying:
-Wilson is the prophet of Justice,
reconciliation and the happiness of na
tions, but the spirit of his new note
shows' a will to use power and force
to gain his ends. In every succeeding
note Wilson increases his demands and
keeps a dagger in his cloak. While
the contents of the present note create
no insurmountable obstacles, the new
Germany will not forget Wilson's dic
tatorial tone."

and Quality of Output.
Having outgrown Us quarters in the
Corbett building, the Portland Chapter,
American Bed Cross, will move, on or
about October 28, to new quarters on
the fifth floor of the Gasco building.
Sufficient space will there be available
for the headquarters of all the multi
farious Red Cross activities.
In place of a score of Red Cross tele
phone numbers representing different
Red Cross activities, there will be
Red Cross exchange with the Red Cross
shop, salvage bureau, workroom, can
teen, etc, all on the same exchange;
direct wires leading to the different
activities. A complete information
bureau regarding the Red Cross activ
ities both in Portland and abroad will
also be maintained.
The workroom will still be main
tained on the eighth floor of the Lip-
man-Wolfe building and the headquar-
ters of other activities where they now
are. but all the office detail and gen
eral Information will be centered In the
new offices in the Gasco building.
The Portland chapter has created

ciency, the volume and quality of its

The Galleon is so anchored that the

scorned as a landlubber.

Government wants you to do your Holiday buying in October,
November and early December.
.The National Council of Defense has demanded that the business
interests of the Country shall curtail their Holiday activities;
and has asked them: .
Not to increase their working; force by reason of the Holiday;
business.
Not to increase the number of Working: hours of their force
during the Christmas Season.
To spread the period for holiday purchases over the months of
October, November and December.
The General Secretary has it on the highest authority that it
was the intention of the National Council of Defense to discour
age Holiday business entirely until through the representations
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States it was dem-.
onstrated to the satisfaction of even the highest in authority in'
the National Council of Defense that such a programme at this
time would mean irreparable damage to the business interests
of the Country, since in all lines merchandise had been bought
and delivered for Christmas uses.
The family connections and friends of men overseas will want .
to send remembrances to their loved ones in the American Army
abroad, and the efficacy and the need of photography in such
a movement was never as great.

Coos County Men Plan to Carry 5
Tons of Chrome Ore Daily.
MARSHFIELD. Or, Oct. 19. (Spe

California, are the first to open active
mining in Southern Coos County and

tion manufacture.
The force of pack animals will be
controlled by six men, each of whom
will be in charge of 15 horses and
mules. Bradford and Norris also are

mony of the Lord Jesus Christ as th
world's Redeemer; and these are em
Bodied In independent volumes of Scrip
ture The Holy Bible and The Book of
Mormon.
The evidence of witnesses, whether
individuals, coteries or nations, refutes
itself if it fail in consistency, mutual
support, and agreement In alKubstan
tials. The most critical examination
of these two compilations of Scripture
as to this vital feature is invited.
Among the outstanding facts of pro
foundest import recorded in the Bible
concerning Jesus Christ and His mis
sion are these:
1. His preexistence and antemortal
Godship.
2. His f oreordination as the Redeemer
and Savior of mankind.
3. Predictions of His embodiment in
the flesh, as the Son of the Eternal
Father and of mortal woman.
4. The fulfilment of these predic
tions in His birth as Mary's Child.
5. The sending of a forerunner, John
the Baptist, to prepare the way for the
Lord s public ministry.
6. Christ's earthly life, covering
about a third of a century, character
iaed by beneficent service, by authorl
tative administration, and by unexcep
tional example.
7. The establishment of His Church
with duly ordained Apostles, who, with
others ministers Invested with the Holy
Priesthood, carried forward the work of
salvation after the Lord s departure.
8. -The specific and authentic enun
elation of the fundamental principles
and ordinances of the Gospel, by which
the way of salvation has been opened to
all, and without which none can abide
in the Kingdom of God. these compris
ing: (1) Faith in Him as the Son of
God and the Redeemer of the world;
(2) Repentance of sin; (3) Baptism by
immersion for the remission of sins
and (4) bestowal of the Holy Ghost by
the authoritative laying on of hands.
9. The Lord s sacrificial and atoning
death.
10. His actual resurrection, whereby
His spirit was reunited with the cruel
tied body, and He became a glorified
and immortalized Soul.
11. His ministry as a Resurrected Be
ing among men.
12. His exaltation to the place He had
won at the right hand of God tne
Eternal Father.
13. The general apostasy of mankind
from the Gospel of Christ, bringing
about an era of spiritual darkness.
14. The restoration of -the Holy
Priesthood in the latter days, by which
the Gospel would be again preached in
power and its ordinances administered
for the salvation of men.
15. Tne assurance of our Lord s yet
future return to earth, in glory and
iudKment. to inaugurate the predicted
Millennium of peace and righteousness. ,
16. His eternal status as Judge of
both quick and dead, and the eventual
Victor over sin and death.
In every particular, even to circum
stantial detail, the Scriptures of the
West accord with those of the East in
their solemn witness to these portent
ous developments of the Divine plan,
which has for its purpose be Immor
tality and eternal life of man." The
voice of the continents, the independ
ent testimonies of Judah and Ephraim.
the Scriptures of the Jews and those of
the Nephites, are heard in tuneful har
mony bearing true witness to the world
of the everlasting Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
In vindication of the prophets of both
East and West, the Holy Priesthood has
been restored to the earth in this latter
age, and the saving ordinances of the
Lord's House are again administered
for the ,salvation of souls. In this
glorious restoration, coupled with the
miraculous bringing forth of the Book
of Mormon, is found a rich fulfilment
of ancient prophecy; for verily Truth
has eprnng out of the earth, and Right
eousness has come down from heaven.
(See Psa. 85:11).
Now, in olden times at least two wit
nesses were required to establish the
truth of any important fact; and thus
spake the Lord respecting the inde
pendent testimony of nations concern
ing Himself: "Wherefore murmur ye,
because that ye shall receive more of
my wordf Know ye not that the testi
mony of two nations is a witness unto
yon that I am God, that I remember '
one nation like unto anotherf Where
fore, 1 Mpeak the same words unto one
nation like unto another. And when the
two nations shall ran together, the tea- -
tlmony of the two nations shall run
together also. ... Wherefore, be
cause that ye have a Bible, ye need not
suppose that it contains all my wordst
neither need ye suppose that 1 have not
caused more to be written. ... For
behold, 1 sball speak onto the Jews, mnd
they shall write It; and 1 shall speak
also nnto the Nephites, and they shall
write It; and 1 shall also apeak unto
the other tribes of the house of Israel,
which I have led away, and they shall
write It; and I shall also speak unto all
nations of the earth, and they shall
write It. ... And it shall come to
pass that my people wmcn are or tae
honse of Israel, shall be gathered home
nnto the lands of their poHsesslons; and
my word also shall be gathered in one."
2 Nephi 29).
The theme of this unified anthem or
Divine ministry is- the preparation of
the race for the impending advent of
the Lord, who shall stand in Bodily
Presence upon the earth, to subdue
wickedness and reign in righteousness
n company with all who shall have
become His.
